If you ever get your wireless setup to work let me know how you did it please? I've been struggling with getting it setup with or without Wep but no success as yet under SuSE 8/8.1...

I intend to connect my laptop to a DSL/Cable router with a wireless connection. The laptop has SuSE 8.0 installed, though I do have a copy of 8.1 sitting here waiting to be used. Using the built-in NIC I can connect the laptop to the internet, however, I want to use wireless for the laptop. A Google search shows that 8.1 is supposed to have lots of extra ability regarding wireless (OK), but also shows a lot of people saying they can not get various brand name PCMCIA cards to work. The SuSE database has information regarding a wireless setup, but does not give brand names known to work. Locally D-Link and Linksys is readily available. From the internet, almost anything is available. Considering that a wireless access point cost as much or more than a new DSL/Cable wireless 4-port router, I will probably buy a new router to match the PCMCIA wireless card. What brands are know to work with SuSE? Working with SuSE is priority number 1, security is priority number 2.
